Talkback
Title:I for one think restraint is more reasonable

running into Gaza will accomplish nothing, we will leave later only to have the same problems in Gaza - the matter is a Palestinian problem that, ultimately, they alone can only solve, - or never. If never then declare a border and Gaza a enemy state. Can it be solved? Who knows but one thing is sure, nothing imposed by Israel will stand. Gaza is is certainly not worth risking our boys for.
I say wait - we have two major elections coming up - Israel and the PA - and one new president. A lot can happen over the next few months which rushing in will not help at all and is not worth the cost. Restraint for now is the way.
